The Lion: Son of the Forest (English)

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

The Lion. Son of the Emperor, brother to demigods, and Primarch of the Dark Angels. Awakened. Returned. And yet lost.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
The Emperor's first son enters the stage of the 41st Millennium! Much has changed since Lion El'Jonson last walked the galaxy, but not his urge to protect humanity from the dangers that beset it from all sides.

THE STORY
After ten thousand years, Lion El'Jonson suddenly finds himself trapped in the nightmarish Imperium Nihilus, where the fading embers of humanity are beset on all sides by darkness. Alone, there is little hope of standing against this evil. But there are those who wish to aid him in his quest. His fallen knights, driven to the brink of endurance, have always waited for the day their lord would return and bring them salvation. Now, he calls them to him once more and rides out to destroy a traitorous son and his corrupted warband of Chaos.

In these strange times, the Lion can be sure of nothing and no one. But without the Emperor, without the Imperium, without his Legion and Caliban, an existential question arises: Who is he?
